This is the tank just going through the cycle just can’t wait to start adding fish

Nice tank, I would suggest adding some live plants, I had all plastic plants for years but now I only have live plants. They do so much good for your tank like improving the quality of the water, removing ammonia, absorbing CO2 and adding oxygen to the water. There are many easy to care for plants that you do not need soil for like Java Ferns and moneywort to name a few. Something for you to consider in the future.

So glad you have sand if you're getting corys! Looks like nice fine soft sand for them too

Plastic plants are looking quite good these days, the grass is impressive. You could always get some live floating plants like frogbit, most fish appreciate some overhead cover

Welcome! I agree that live plants make a tank. I have a couple of silk plants in my golde tank because they eat everything but the others have mostly live plants. Anubias and amazon sword are easy first plants. Look forward to seeing you around.

I’ve just got a few moss ball’s added for now until I can get some easy plants and that’s for the ideas for them will go and have a look

I did my research about them as they are one of my favourites I love the way the school together at the bottom of the tank
